Function test
When carrying out a manual test, the smoke alarm device emits a
muffled signal. However you should still prewarn neighbours. Stay at
least 50 cm away from the smoke alarm device during a function test.
Carry out the function test once a month and especially after long periods
of absence:
1) Press the function button for at least 4 seconds:
• If an audible signal is emitted following a short acknowledgement
sound and the light ring comes on (Section 4), then the smoke alarm
device is operating correctly.
• If no signal is emitted, replace the battery.
2) Then carry out the function test again. If a signal is still not emitted,
then the smoke detector is faulty and must be replaced.
3) Stop the function test by pressing the function button until the
acknowledgement signal is heard.
If a function test is carried out on wired or radio-networked smoke alarm
devices, all the connected smoke alarm devices emit an acoustic alarm.
If this does not occur, please check the batteries of all the smoke alarm
devices and the connections and state of the network cables.
